so hi, im new other than a white noise poster in AI. i have a tuxedo white 2017 fiesta st and its basically perfect. obviously it could use being more perfect, its already invisible to cops, and will spank cars way over its class if the road involves turning.. it needs like another 85-100 hp though to make it a crazy (almost competitive) go cart. so. GOALS keep the appearance as completely stock as possible. maybe some subtle hints for folks who know what they are looking at. retain the stock exhaust (cept the down pipe) no loving blow off valves. upgrade the turbo get it professionally dyno tuned with 3 maps one for oh poo poo florida sideways rain driveability one for general daily driving and one for  mode.what it has currently: full speaker/tweeter replacement (rockford fosgates) auxilary subwoofer under the trunk floor redline custom shift boot redline custom center armrest redline custom seat belt pads (4) random magical ali express lit door sills (4 doors) OEM ford UK left hand drive headlights with custom wiring harness for DRLs cobb accessport with 93 ots base tune direct swap cobb air filter montune v2 rear motor mount stupid heavy shift knob parts i have sitting in a pile that infuriates miss frog: gas hood struts (Dark ice designs UK) velossitech ram air scoop redline custom leather armrests (4 doors) woosh motorsports intercooler v2 (black) parts im thinking about buying: boomba racing recirculating valve http://www.boombaracing.com/2014-fiesta-st-boost-operated-bypass-valve-full-recirculation/ montune mtx turbo upgrade https://www.mountuneusa.com/mountune-Fiesta-ST-MRX-Turbocharger-Upgrade-p/2364-tu-aa.htm montune upgraded catted down pipe https://www.mountuneusa.com/mountune-Sport-Down-Pipe-Fiesta-ST-2013-2019-p/2364-dpsc-aa.htm woosh motorsports silicone boost hoses https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...t-free-shipping maybe a hot side pipe? https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...t-free-shipping and obviously brakes http://www.boombaracing.com/2014-fiesta-st-brake-cooling-deflector/' https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopify.com/products/ksport-6-piston-304mm-big-brake-kit-fiesta-st-2014-2017-free-shipping this thread is basically a reality check as to whether or not this parts plan will give me the desired result on pump gas, and how i may gently caress it up completely.

https://www.mountuneusa.com/Quaife-ATB-Differential-Fiesta-ST-2014-2019-QDF57-p/2364-atb-aa.htm Since you'll be throwing a bunch more power through the front wheels. Honestly the stock diff isn't up to stock shenanigans. Yours looks way nicer than mine. I live under pine trees.

You'll probably want stickier tires too, to handle the increased braking/power load. I've been out of the performance tire game for a while now but dunlop direzza star specs were pretty good to me circa 2011, maybe something like those?

hankook rs4 is what you're looking for. re71r/a052/rival are quicker tires but wear a shitload faster. it is roughly on par with a nt01/rc1 but wears physically slower

they dont seem to be available in partycars size  im also a bit leery as we have had at least 2-3 weeks of under 40 degree temps and while yeah that aint much, to my knowledge summers grip like poo poo under those temps

Yeah, this winter in Virginia my partycar was reduced to a normal commuter car since it stayed on summers. It legitimately felt like the bargain bin all seasons that I had on every car leading up to this one. Not dangerous in comparison to the vast majority of cars, braking distances were fine, but not good in comparison to warm weather. I'm running the stock potenza whatevers, FYI.

got back from a business trip yesterday so figured some car fuckery might clear all the sales dipshittery out of my head dirty engine bay  factory intake removed  cobb intake installed  held boost fine, throttle response was a bit better and made slightly more wooshy sounds only PITA part is the clamp holding the intake to the turbo, but with 2 swivels and 2 extensions it was a bit easier gonna run it out tomorrow to see if i get any CELs TehRedWheelbarrow fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Apr 13, 2019 |

apparently enough time to get a sunburn. joy. e: i normally just wear shorts in the house and outside, didnt think about the rising sun burning me i was just relaxing doing car stuff it was nice, went took a shower and took it for a spirited drive need to shorten the hose off the intake though, popped a CEL but its basic and no big deal hose just moved to a spot where it would slightly kink and the ecu didnt like it or something. hopefully i dont have to disassemble too much.

Running summer tires year round is fine don't worry about it, I haven't used all season tires in decades. Currently Running Yokohama S-Drives on the xB and Pilot Sports on the LS, they are both very good.

Summers don't grip that well under 40 degrees but just don't drive like a 16 year old when it's cold, problem solved. If I lived in Florida I would run summer tires year round and I am #1 winter tire evangelist.

what is the fun of a partycar if you dont drive like you are 16? Check engine light is gone after reducing the hose length and making it a nice radius without kinks guess kinkshaming in some cases is ok

I would just buy the car that does what you want out of the box (Focus RS? Golf R?) than try to tart it up with expensive parts to make it a compromised version of said car. That said, neat car and as long as you're having fun then so be it. Edit: turns out "Automotive Sanity" is available as a user name.

Reverse mod it then, sell the alloys and put steel wheels on it, take off the turbo and covert to NA, sell turbo Just kidding man, that sucks hope your wife finds work, at least the job market has been pretty good here lately

Cool thread man, if you end up deciding on the MRX kit let me know I can give you some install pointers.

you think the mtx kit will do 285-300 on pump gas or should i look into an embiggened turbo? id rather avoid a weird fuel mix or anything fucky that involves me having to think or remember

sneakyfrog posted:you think the mtx kit will do 285-300 on pump gas or should i look into an embiggened turbo? id rather avoid a weird fuel mix or anything fucky that involves me having to think or remember All of the aftermark turbo options available get to that ballpark, which is the limit of the stock fuel system without adding an aux fuel add-on. I think the 2554 (MRX) is probably one of the weaker options, and may max a little under that, in the 275 ballpark or something like that. The various Garrett options are a little laggier and have higher RPM punch, the hybrids like X37/47/etc are a little more linear. Hybrids in theory could be less reliable, but are a lot simpler to install. They use all of the stock coolant and oil lines, stock bypass valve location, etc. Its basically unbolt stock turbo, install new one, install tune, party down. The Garrett kits are a lot more work, but the top end power is beastly.

yeah i was thinking a garrett just for sheer grunt, but dont know how much i would have to sacrifice lagwise for a fairly linear powerband, i dunno i have the time to over plan things plus total access to a lot of cool laser scanners for fabbing a custom part. it would be pretty easy for me to cad out in solidworks and "flow test" virtually. cant see myself selling it or upgrading cars unless its just a cheap beater if i had to really rip apart the partycar

If I was doing it all over again, I would probably just go hybrid, as the ATP/MRX kits have some flaws and installation is pretty irritating. But if you ever think you are going to go for more than 300whp (aux fuel) you should get a GTX2867 kit.
